Daigen is Japanese in Origin.

Daigen is a rare given name with several plausible roots. In Japanese, it can be formed from Dai (大 “great”) plus Gen - commonly written as 源 “source; spring,” 元 “origin,” 言 “word; speech,” or 玄 “mysterious” - yielding senses such as “great source,” “great origin,” or “noble word.” Because Japanese names derive meaning from the chosen kanji, interpretations vary.

In English-speaking contexts, Daigen often appears as a modern variant or blend of Dagen (from Old Norse dagr, “day”) and Dagan (Hebrew “grain; abundance,” also the name of an ancient deity). Usage is very uncommon before the late 20th century and remains rare today, typically selected for its crisp sound and cross‑cultural resonance. Variants and related forms include Dagen, Dagan, Daegan, Daegon, Daygen, and Daigin; short forms may be Dai or Gen. Overall, Daigen conveys themes of light/day, origin, and abundance, depending on the etymology embraced.
